Hello! I am new to this forum and am looking forward to the support I can receive here. I was banded last Thursday, May 8, and feel great! It is exciting to be on the road to a healthier life! :biggrin2:

Hi, congrats on getting banded. How is your recovery going?

Let us know if you have any questions, we are all here to support one another through this journey.

Hi Susan,

Thanks for the reply! My recovery is going great. I only have a little pain at one of the five surgical sites. I am now in the 'pureed' part of my diet and so far, so good! I am not hungry and become full with each meal and I hope this continues. It is hard to believe that this tool will help me succeed and I am trying to convince my mind that this will not be another failure. It will be easy to follow the strict diet as long as hunger pangs won't drag me down. I am so excited but still am keeping my hopes in check so as to not become disappointed.

Hi Nancy and welcome to LBT! Congratulations on your band. Sounds like you are doing great!

Hi Kathy,

Thanks for the welcome! I do hope you get your band soon!
